"We're seeing a bit of an uptick in sales and contracts," said T.D. Smith, president of the Telluride Real Estate Corporation.
But, he added, "it will be a long time before we have the kind of volume we had in 2005, 2006 and 2007."
"I'd be hesitant to say that things are turning, but there has been a significant increase in interest over the last three months," said Telluride Properties Managing Broker Albert Roer.
Roer said that his company closed on $20 million in sales during August, September and October, and anticipates closing on $6 million more this month.
"I was very happy, and I felt we're starting to see some recovery," said Sally Puff Courtney of Peaks Real Estate, who reported six sales during October. Still, "it's going to be a long row to hoe."
On another positive note, broker Steve Catsman of the Telluride Real Estate Corporation reported that although the earliest of 17 deposits on the luxury Element 52 project he represents were made over two years ago, at the peak of the market, so far those buyers remain content because they see good value in the property and amenities package for which they have signed on, including high-end finishes like plaster walls and walnut floors, a private lift with ski-in, ski-out access to the Telluride base area, an on-site ski valet, a spa and fitness center, a private wine bar, and a reciprocal agreement to use amenities at Gray Head.
A number of brokers cite several signs for optimism.
"I for one am very optimistic for an improved winter real-estate market, with the opening of the airport, new Peaks ownership, strong marketing at Capella and some of the great things going on with the ski resort," Telluride Association of Realtors President Teddy Errico wrote in an email to The Watch.
However, Telluride Real Estate Brokers Managing Broker Dirk de Pagter, who sits on the Telluride Montrose Regional Air Organization board of directors, sounded a more somber tone on the potential for the runway improvements there to generate much new real estate activity in the near future.
"There will be no immediate impact" until there is better, more frequent service directly into Telluride, he said.
The airport is still about a year (one construction phase) away from accommodating the 66- to 78-seat Q400 turboprop aircraft it needs in order to provide the direct service flights from regional markets that de Pagter says are the key to significantly impacting the market.
At press time Telluride Finance Director Lynne Beck did not have a final number, but she confirmed that in October the town took in more than $400,000 in the three percent Real Estate Transfer Tax it collects on every eligible transaction, an increase of at least 14 percent over the same month last year.
In Mountain Village, Leanne Hart, communications director for the Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association, confirmed that the town's three percent Real Estate Transfer Assessment collected $242,880 during October, a 32 percent increase over the same month last year.
Still, "we're off budget by about $1.3 million," said Hart, clarifying that the town has collected about $2.7 of the $4 million in RETA it had anticipated.
According to data provided by TAR, 31 more properties with a combined asking price of nearly $39.3 million are under contract to close by the end of the year, and one more property is on the books to close in January.
In all, 222 properties have changed hands since the beginning of the year while 24 contracts fell through during the same period, according to TAR.
"Certainly activity has picked up, which is a good sign," said Errico.
The sales run the gamut from fractional ownerships to in-town single-family homes to vacant county lots.
Errico said that contracts on high-end lots priced upwards of $1.3 million were "brighter signs" in a market which, as of the end of September, saw 204 sales totaling $209.6 million throughout San Miguel County – a 24 percent decrease in sales volume and 29 percent decrease in dollar volume compared to 2008, and a 59 percent decrease in sales volume and 64 percent decrease in dollar volume compared to 2007, according to data compiled by real estate analyst Judi Kiernan of Telluride Consulting.
Not only have sales volumes generally decreased, so too have the number of people making those sales.
In October TAR counted 203 members, a 17 percent decrease from its 2008 membership, according to Errico, who said that the difficult market led some brokers to return to school while others switched careers, left the region, or did both.
"With the market continuing to be sluggish, we anticipate losing more members in 2010," he confirmed.
But, making lemonade out of lemons, "It creates an opportunity for those who remain, and creates a stronger and more dedicated group that will be better positioned to succeed," he continued.
Among 10 real estate agents interviewed for this article, some attributed the recent spike in sales activity in part to value shoppers doing deals in the wake of the region's unprecedented number of foreclosures and other distress sales.
San Miguel County has opened 81 foreclosure files so far this year, versus 35 files in 2008 and 17 in 2007, according to County Treasurer and Public Trustee Jan Stout.
Stout has sold 23 foreclosed properties this year, although just over half of those sales began during 2008.
"I'm a little bit surprised, but not as surprised as I was earlier in the year," she said of the increase in filings, many of which pertained to what she described as "local type properties."
"I don't think this year is going to slow down," she said.
Although the tight credit markets have taken their toll on the transfer of local real estate, for buyers with cash, "This is as good a buying time as I've ever seen," said George Harvey of Telluride Properties.
"For 24 years I would show people around and they would say, 'Gee, I wish I had bought back in… [insert date],'" he explained.
"They now have that choice," he said.
"Now is the time to buy," agreed Courtney.
Both Roer and Smith observed that perhaps a greater share of today's buyers anticipate living in the region full-time as compared to more speculative investors or those seeking second or third homes.
"They're not looking to buy and flip," said Smith. Instead they are asking, "What's the best deal I can get for my family, our recreation and family enjoyment?"
Somewhat paradoxical, however, is the idea held by some that although real estate can be bought at present for heretofore unseen bargain prices, generally speaking, market value has not eroded.
"Some deals are getting done at distress by people who are highly motivated," explained Roer. Yet, "Most of our sellers are not highly motivated."
In other words, they are not, or are not yet, in such dire financial straights that they feel they must dramatically decrease their expectations. As a result, solvent sellers continue to hang on to their homes, rather than drop prices in order to sell them.
"We'll always be among the most desired destinations in Colorado," said Matt Hintermeister of Peaks Real Estate.
"We haven't become less pretty; the ski area is not less desirable," he said.
Others would argue that foreclosures and other distress sales have pushed the reset button on the bottom line.
"[Purchasers] probably come away feeling as though they were all good buys, but today's good deals are tomorrow's comparables," said Nevasca Realty President Erik Fallenius. "We are now beginning to establish a new bottom."
"They're now our new comps," said Courtney.
Although some brokers beg to differ with that assessment, most are hopeful that the bottom is near.
"I don't anticipate there is going to be much more available for correction on the downside," said de Pagter.

Gipsy tribute to 'legend' of Upton upon Severn
1:02pm Friday 27th December 2013 in News By Chris Plant, Reporter
ABOUT 100 cars followed a horse and carriage through the streets of Upton in tribute to a well-known figure.
The traditional gipsy cortege passed through town streets to celebrate the life of Leonard Finney, who died aged 62.
Kane Finney, Leonard's son, said: "We had a good turnout considering the weather was so bad. Around 100 cars in total were following us through Upton, I'm happy with the turnout.
"The actual service was very nice, and even more people were there to pay their respects. We couldn't have asked for any more."
The cortege travelled to Gloucester Crematorium.
Leonard Finney owned and lived on Hillbee Farm, Welland Road, Upton, with his family and used it as a caravan club site and then later a gipsy site.
It was this site that led to Mr Finney being much known to Malvern Hills District Council and to gaining a reputation as a "fighter".
Leonard Finney had tried several times to gain planning permission to increase the site's capacity to be able to accommodate an extra five caravans or mobile homes, in addition to the two already there.
His son, Kane, has vowed to continue the fight.
"Dad was a fighter all his life and never backed down from anyone or anything," he said.
"I can promise now that the family will absolutely continue to fight for these planning applications and you can be sure we will see them through eventually."

As we reach the entrance, a magnificent pagoda has pride of place in the square, which is surrounded by more 6-foot Buddhas – some sporting black eyelids, and others, bright-red lips. They really are fun to look, and their distorted features confirm a real quirkiness in the creator of the figures. The view from the terrace is far-reaching; it's just a shame for us that a heavy mist and light drizzle has descended. Still, we can get a reasonable sense of the view with the Sha Tin Race course at the bottom surrounded by the urban sprawl that is Hong Kong.
I can't resist a quick ring on the bells before we make to climb the pagoda. It's a climb that seems to go on and on, and in all honesty the view from the top is not brilliant. But there are more Buddhas on each window ledge and a view across the complex showing another lane of Buddhas – we'll make that climb after lunch. A cheap lunch can be obtained from the small makeshift restaurant on site – it has basic fare, but there's plenty of it and the quality was better than average.
Next to the café is a temple with thousands of Buddhas arranged in individual niches. Traditional music was being played in this amazing building. At the time we were there, the temple was being decorated and painters were balanced on bamboo scaffolding and Buddhas were being removed from their spots, lowered into wicker baskets in order that the wall could be re-painted.
Take a left out of this temple and then the left fork to climb to the next part of the monastery. Again, the route is lined with large Buddhas, and as we saw the summit, the statues changed. Now they were garishly painted and all female in form. Much more regal in appearance and no comedic value here! At the summit, there were a couple more very small temples, much in need of some TLC, and a much more commanding view of the surrounding area.
We took the route straight down from here, bypassing the main temple site. This was a gradual gradient, but somewhat treacherous in the rain. The Buddhas oversaw our stroll through a woodland area, and we enjoyed spotting the old monastery buildings and some more secluded houses in the distant hills.
Despite its closeness to a large population, this was a very tranquil and idyllic spot.

When I got off the train, there were a number of signs for the monastery and it took about 15 minutes to reach by foot. It's perched on a hillside and looks out over Sha Tin. It's a very pretty and peaceful site BUT there are lots of stairs to climb to reach the top. One travel guide said there were over 400 and I would agree, although I didn't have the breath left to count them.
Although it is called The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery, there are now over 13,000 of the clay statues of Buddha because people keep adding to them. Although similar in size and shape, a closer look reveals differences in poses. They are reverently stacked on shelves filling the walls of the temple.
In front of the Temple are large colorful statues of some of Buddha's followers as well as a 9 story pagoda filled with more statues.
There weren't a lot of other visitors about and it almost felt like I had the place to myself. The Temple has a number of terraces and from them you can see across the valley to the Amah Rock, a famous landmark. Legend says this rock was once a woman who climbed the hill to watch and wait for her husband's return. He never returned and the gods eventually took pity on her and turned her to stone as a reward for her patience.
Behind the main Temple, a smaller one houses the body of Yeut Kai, the monk who founded the monastery. The whole area feels very peaceful and serene and is a perfect place to relax and unwind.
The monastery is part of an organized day trip that you can book through your hotel or a travel agency but I enjoyed doing it on my own since I had more time to wander around.
Trains run regularly to Sha Tin from the Kowloon station and my first class, return ticket was under $10.00. A word of caution - the restrooms at stations outside can be very basic - just a hole in the floor - so be prepared.
Sha Tin is quite a large city with many hotels. As well as the monastery, it is also well known for its horse racing track, one of the largest in the country.

Where is the Museum of Innocence?
Many people have asked where is the Museum of Innocence in Istanbul? Many people have searched for the Museum of Innocence, the museum Orhan Pamuk speaks of in his novel of the same name. Such a great body of literature must have a home – a museum where that which is collected can be placed for the future collective memory of people.
In my search for the Museum, I found only one thing. A Facebook page for fans who love and are obsessed with the novel by Pamuk. The Museum of Innocence details the obsession, passion and other great questions of love. Orhan Pamuk is establishing a museum in Istanbul based on the novel to exhibit the objects mentioned in the book.
The Museum of Innocence was published in August 2008. Pamuk said in an interview with Der Spiegel that,"The Museum of Innocence " chronicles the love story of Kemal, an upper-class person, a person who is occasionally described as high-society. He is 30 years old in 1975 and chronicles his infatuation with a distant relative, a twice removed cousin, Fusun, an 18 year-old shop girl, but very beautiful. As sort of a compensation for his failure to get her hand, he collects everything he can get that Fusun touches, and in the end he makes a museum of the objects that their story is associated with.
The latest news of the Museum of Innocence is that it is expected the Museum will open in the Spring 2011,which, of course is now. We will update when further news is available.
Ümit Yigit began a fan page in Facebook for the Museum of Innocence and is organizing a tour in Istanbul of the places Pamuk mentions in the story of the love of Kemal and Fusun. Visit his page in Facebook to find out more.

My school is Park Day, and it is fabulous. My son has gone there from BK (no longer in the curricula) and is now in third grade. All the promises the school made to us on day one have been fulfilled. My son is growing as a full person and learning as a whole human being and a member of the community. Not only is he learning facts, how to read, write (cursive!), add, subtract, multiply and divide. He is also learning how to do his own research on the topics that interest him; he is learning to stand up for himself or for any inequity he observes. When he is roughhousing it with friends, he does not hesitate to stop the game when appropriate and ask a friend if they have been hurt. He has been empowered by his teachers to hold his own thoughts, feelings - and his mistakes. That was a hard one and is "still under construction." But I think he's hardly the only person who struggles with that. He has the confidence to solve the problems he thinks he can solve on his own, and the confidence to ask for help if that's what he thinks he needs. And he's a happy go lucky dude. I attribute this in great part to the education he is receiving from Park Day School.
Park Day School is extraordinary. My husband is a Physicist; my degrees are in Math and Physics. My post is about math It s crucial to us, and a common concern. These are examples of our son living math at Park: at the end of BK, he took photos on campus of some of the geometric forms he d learned about circles, straight & parallel lines, . . . at 5 y/o he was able to transition from the concrete to the abstract and back. In K, if he was done with his classwork early, his teacher had additional math challenges for him at 6 y/o he loved Sudoku. In 1st grade he developed ad hoc ways of solving multiplication problems when he didn t know the answer: he knew a close result, and then finished up by adding or subtracting. Now, in 2nd grade, he is grappling with base ten. For years he s been estimating quantities e.g. we had just celebrated the 100th day of school, so it must have been November. I could go on. I firmly believe my son, as all other kids at Park, will continue to learn and love math throughout their lives, thanks to the education they are receiving. An education that takes root in each individual s curiosity, and then carefully nurtures and challenges it.
This school is amazing!!! Having been in public school since kindergarten, my child entered Park as an 8th grader. He was embraced by his classmates. After a while at Park he stated that he considered every 8th grader and 7th his "friend". At Park grades 8 and 7 have some classes together. Electives are not an option at Park, but part of the core curriculum. All student take Spanish, drama, art, music, technology, woodworking. In the fall the students study and perform Shakespeare; in the spring they stage a festival of one act plays. My son would never have taken music or drama had it not been required. He discovered that he actually enjoyed both. I now believe that performing arts should be part ot the core curriculum. Last year the 8th graders took a life changing trip to Costa Rica where they participated in community service. My son looked forward to school each day and enjoyed being in an environment where learning was celebrated and kindness was practiced!!!
I have 2 children who attend/ed PDS and I highly recommend it. The strength of the school is its ability to focus on building and maintaining a love of learning. Both my girls have developed the ability to advocate for what they need academically. My oldest left PDS to attend a public school where she was far ahead of her peers in terms of being able to learn quickly, to ask for help when she didn't understand something, and see the process of learning as a holistic experience. The school quickly saw her advanced skills and created an accelerated math course for some kids, including another PDS child. In her English courses, she conquered the basics and beyond while at PDS and was far ahead of her peers in her ability to think critically and express herself through writing. While at PDS we were worried that she wasn't getting the same academic education as her peers in public schools, we quickly discovered that PDS provided much more than pure memorization and rote learning. Her love of learning, built at PDS, provided her the longer term investment that we had hoped she would get. If you want your children to be life long learners, this is the place for your family.
Like some other reviewers, we have had a very so-so experience with Park. While the atmosphere is truly warm and the grounds are beautiful, in hindsight our two children came out of Park woefully under prepared for high school. The individuals who make up the Park community are all wonderful people but the curriculum and pace of learning is lacking. My son and daughter attend different high schools and they both have had similar experiences in feeling lost in a more advanced environment. I liked Park well enough while the kids were there but I had no idea how far behind they were falling. We have relocated to a suburb outside of New York where I find the public high school my son attends to be rigorous, inspiring and enlightened. No, its not as warm an environment as Park but I want him to be prepared for the real world. My daughter opted to attend a private high school which does have a warm vibe but is also far more rigorous than Park. Their freshman years were brutal adjusting to the academic pace of high school in New York after being, I feel, coddled at Park.
Our three children go to Park Day School in Oakland. We have a 6th grader and twins in 1st grade. The school combines an amazing academic experience bottled up and delivered as pure fun for kids. The combination of great teachers, small class sizes, and a creative intellectual approach to learning, allows children to enjoy math, science, and writing, and unknowingly absorb difficult concepts with ease. We have had a truly amazing at Park and have watched as our school continues to expand in many ways. We go from bridge K through 8th grade. Have a beautiful six acre campus. And the school has recently added a hot lunch program (causing our picky slender 6th grader to put on 5 pounds). The school's lesser known brainy side, combined with its known warmth and heart, has created the perfect environment for kids to thrive. Another writer mentions feeling like she won the Willy Wonka golden tickets upon finding out her child got into Park, I couldn't agree more.
I have always said that having the opportunity for our child to attend Park Day School was like receiving Willy Wonka s golden ticket. I chose Park Day because of the depth and sophistication of their progressive curriculum and the amazing tales I d heard time and time again from area high school teachers about Park kids. Park kids are known for, "leaning into the learning," an earnest desire to dig for understanding. Park kids are known to have a strong sense of self and a genuine regard for others which enables them to be both comfortable with and respectful of others. Having been a Park family now for 6 years, I know this to be true. As a career educator myself, I consistently stand in awe of the work the Park teachers and administration. And as good as it is, every year it truly gets even better. I recall picking my daughter up from school the first week back at school in September, hearing her unsolicited comments, "I love school! I m not just happy, I m grateful. What more need be said? I cannot think of a better investment in our children s development than sending them to Park Day School.
Park Day is an outstanding school with a thriving intellectual culture, committed and innovative teachers and a progressive administration. My child receives personalized instruction every day. She is engaged and challenged and the results are obvious. Awesome school.
I am dismayed reading some of the negative reviews for Park, but I suppose every child and family are different. What I can say is this--I have two children who started at Park in kindergarten and have loved school since the beginning. They are happy. They love to learn. And my son, having graduated from Park last year, is now happily at one of the area's best private high schools, his first choice. For those that say Park does not prepare kids in math, I will say, just because it doesn't look like what you are used to seeing (as is the case with a lot of the learning that happens at Park), don't assume that learning is not happening. My son scored in the 98th percentile on the high school placement exam, and received and A in math and an A+ in physics during his recent midterm grading period. He is more than prepared and competitive in every subject in high school. I will also add that in my opinion, many of the families that seem unhappy tend to fall into the serial school-hopping category-these are people/kids that for whatever reason are going to find a problem anywhere. If it's your 3rd school in 5 years, maybe it's not the school.
I have 3 kids at Park Day. It is an extraordinary place for learning. The program addresses the whole picture-with tremendous attention to the academic, social and emotional growth of each of our 3 children. I would recommend PDS to anyone who wants a rich learning environment where teachers are both wise and energetic, administrators are attentive to all opportunities for children and families to learn and children learn the standard r's and so much more. I've spoken to educational pros and child psychologists from outside Park Day, and to the parents of Park Day kids who are off at high schools around the area from Head Royce to Berkeley High to Oakland Tech, and to a person, they've said that Park Day kids are beautifully prepared academically, emotionally and socially for high school and beyond. And I believe this completely myself.
We have two children at Park Day in 1st and 3rd grades. Our experience has been rich, wonderful and rewarding for the whole family. It is a 300 student BK - 8th grade school rooted in progressive education; the teachers are of the highest quality, the administration is as hard working and caring as any you will find and the campus is vibrant and beautiful. Our children are learning everything every other child learns in elementary school AND they are benefitting enormously from the social justice curriculum that runs through all academic areas. They are learning to be active and engaged members of their school and their broader communtity. Year after year kids from this school go on to the high schools of their choice - elite or public - and transition seamlessly. The school is not perfect - none is. What is important is that the Administration and staff are open to feedback and communication and willing to work hard to make every student's experience a great one. They are always striving to improve. This is a great school - check it out !
Park Day School has been a wonderful educational experience for my two children, one now in the 8th grade there, the other now a junior at Berkeley High School. There's no doubt it's a warm, nurturing environment, but what's less appreciated is the strong academic foundation and passion for learning that it instills in its students. Park Day doesn't do this through testing, pressure and ever greater loads of homework. If that's what you're looking form it won't be a good fit. Instead there's an emphasis on developing deep learning skills, creative approaches to problems and critical thinking. My older son has thrived in honors math and IB (equivalent of AP) courses at Berkeley High, partly because of the great foundations he received from Park Day. The school rightly prides itself on a superb teaching staff, many of whom have been at the school for decades. There have been some sub-par teachers, but they don't last long. It really is an impressive cohort of teachers who do their jobs with character and passion.
Our daughter is in her second year at Park Day and we couldn't be more impressed by the school. I am a career independent school teacher/administrator myself and chose Park Day for our children because of the extremely high quality of teaching, better than anywhere else I've seen. The academics are outstanding --- with highly engaging, challenging, thoughtfully crafted curricula across the grades. Tom Little is a prominent leader in the field of progressive education and an extraordinary head of school. I'm quite surprised to read that any family was concerned with bullying at the school --- Park responds strongly and immediately to social and emotional issues and the faculty is extremely skilled in this area. The school's social justice program allows for genuine interaction with the world (from local to global) in a very thoughtful and powerful way. The parent community is amazing --- warm, welcoming, highly capable, and generous with time and creativity. We are grateful to be at Park Day knowing that our daughter is in such good hands each day.
Park Day School has a very nurturing, close, somewhat isolated learning environment that may be good for some kids but not others. In the year that my child was there, I met many parents that seemed to have a fear or distrust of the public school system and preferred their children were educated in a more controlled, "idyllic" environment. I agree with previous reviewers that there is too much of an emphasis on social justice than on academics. There is also an unwavering emphasis on donating extra money and time to the school, which I find extremely distasteful (especially the repeated requests for donations for the overpriced renovation of one of the school buildings). If your child has special needs (ADHD or gender identity issues) this school would be a better option than the typical public school, however it is very insular and lacks ties to the outside world (for example the entire campus is like a gated Eden). I would be concerned about my child's transition into middle school or high school after attending Park Day... and to the real world in general.
My child was badly bullied -- hit, bitten and kicked -- throughout the year he spent at Park. The administration kept saying it would get better, but it was still going on in May. There are a lot of spirited kids there whose parents may be attracted by the freedom the school offers. But the school does not have the resources or structure to handle them. The decision that we made to stay at Park through the year because Tom (the director) swore to us in October that they would get on top of the situation was the worst decision we have ever made as parents. My kid will never be the same. Academically -- my son did NO math at Park -- the teacher read the kids math stories, that was it. We are still trying to make up for that -- the math specialist at his current school said three years after that she could tell that he missed out on the development of math sense that one year. All decisions among teachers and administration must be made by consensus, which sounds great but was utterly dysfunctional in the above contexts -- no one had authority over our v.chaotic teacher. Many of the teachers are very experienced and gifted, but when that isn't so, there is no bottom.
Park Day School was a borderline terrible experience for me, my husband, and our two sons. The school lacks in providing the basics to any child. My eldest son attended from 1st to 5th grade (I have no idea why I let it go on for that long). He lacked very basic math and writing skills. He did not even know what times tables were, and could barely punctuate(We've since improved this with a school switch and much tutoring). The school seemed to have more of an emphasis on teaching, or rather indoctrinating children on some sort of strange cultish societal vision. I am not even sure why this school is considered a school, it is more reminiscent of a Communist/Fascist propoganda station. Not only is the school unsatisfactory on the inside, but the surrounding area is lamentable. Located right off Broadway, it was not uncommon to get strong whiffs of smog while in the school. Park Day also shares a block with Oakland Technical Highschool, this school seems to do a superb job of attracting some unsavory characters that I would NOT want anywhere near my children. I would strongly advise against sending your child to park day.
My child has ADHD and I have been asked to pay, out of pocket, nearly triple the cost of tuition for private tutors and a "shadow" teacher. Only after I lost my job and underwent the IEP process in preparation to move my son to public school did I learn my child could have received assisted services, for FREE, what I have paid thousands of dollars out of pocket. Park Day should have informed me of this.
I have had two children attend Park and the experience has been quite regrettable. I could give many reasons but it boils down to one, most important: after leaving Park and entering high school both of my sons found they had not been adequately prepared academically or psychologically for "the real world."
While Park Day has some of the most impressive teachers I have ever encountered, I deeply regret my children attended this school. The school prides itself on what they call the community." In fact, the school almost felt like a cult. They do not educate. They indoctrinate. They taught my children about gender dysphoria but neither of my children learned basic mathematics. They teach the children about racism by instilling guilt rather than exposing the children to the real world. Additionally, it seemed like every year the best teachers would leave. After graduating from Park Day, both my children had difficulty in high school.
Park Day seeks to inspire a passion for learning through a progressive approach to education that values intellectual pursuit and critical thinking, creative expression, self-discovery and a commitment to social justice. Park Day School adheres to a progressive educational philosophy. Over a century of professional practice and research shape the progressive view that each child learns not by passively consuming knowledge, but by actively constructing his or her own understanding of material based on prior knowledge, skills, and experience. In progressive education, the child plays a more active role in his or her own learning, so teachers focus as much on the characteristics of each learner as they do on the academic content itself. Children leave Park Day School well on their way to being caring, constructive, open-minded members of the adult world.

Wedding of Duchess of Alba with Jesus Aguirre

Six years after becoming widow and with her son, Carlos, Duke of Huéscar, as Godfather the Duchess of Alba married in a ceremony held at Palace of Liria Chappel.

The new duke was Jesús Aguirre y Ortiz de Zárate, writer, theologist and Professor.

The Duchess was dressed by Dafnis in beige with pink flowers and green leaves.

Jewels were a pearl necklace and earrings in pear shape ending with pure diamonds from her mother and a precious bracelet given to her by Queen Victoria Eugenia.

The wedding was conducted by Priest Martín Patino.

In the end the wedding wasn't as intimate as the Duchess had suggested being attended by hundreds of guests. Around Cayetana all her sons and in first row the little Eugenia, also attended the Dukes of Badajoz, Dukes of Soria, Alfonso de Borbón and Carmen Martínez-Bordiu Dukes of Cadiz among others.

In my 9th week now and have been reflecting on my "10s." With regard to the weight training I can honestly say that I hit them about 90% of the time. For the times that I didn't hit a true 10 something inside me just said "enough." I am better prepared now to recognize the difference between "enough" and a true 10 intensity. As I have grown stronger, I have raised the weights, I didn't always know what the result would be, but by upping the weights I have set a new standard and I have adapted to it. If I didn't challenge myself I would be right back where I was at the beginning just going through the motions.
For a man, the weights I was (and still am) lifting could be considered pitiful. I don't see it that way. I see myself working hard and making improvements. Others guys around me are lifting much more than I am, however, their goals are their own and have nothing to do with what I am trying to accomplish. I originally thought that I would feel embarrassed to lift the weights that I do, as I paid attention to others I realized that no one is really keeping track of what I do except for me. This is fair after all in that I am doing this for me alone and not to impress anyone else.
As for cardio 10s are easier for me to figure out. My breathing, the burning in muscles as I run, my racing heart etc. When I started 9 weeks ago my intensity levels were 3.5 mph for my "5" and 4.0(6), 4.5(7), 5.0(8), 5.5(9) and 6 mph for my 10. I thought I would just pass out after that last interval...I didn't and was being a drama queen :) Now my 5 intensity level is 5 mph and my 10 is 9 mph. Each couple of weeks I forced myself to raise the intensity. I just pushed the buttons on the treadmill and made myself work. I decided that by the end of my 12 week challenge, that last 10 intensity would be 10 mph. It has become a secondary goal to the weight loss, something else for me to look forward to. Something that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish in week one.
So learn to gauge the difference between your brain wanting to stop and your muscles being able to do more. Don't take the easy way out by thinking that "enough" is truly a 10.
I found it hard to compare the "enough!" feeling and the true "ten" feeling also. I keep telling myself- when I feel like I can't do another one..... do one more! Those usually get me to my tens. It makes for a good workout when you can honestly walk away from it, knowing you gave it you all.
Good job!

DAY 1, May 17, 2010
Hi Everyone,
I made it throught the workout portion of Day 1! I think for me the eating portion is going to be the hardest. May starting weight post workout... 222! I was a little disapointed to see that. Also, I got my body fat done by Omar, a fitness trainer at my Club. He used some calipers on different areas, totaled up the numbers and then used a chart. Turns out it is just over 26%. I've got some work ahead of me.
I planned all of my workouts for the first four weeks. Very detailed. I was thinking about the word "intensity" and going to failure. So for the weights I thought a good way to go to failure would be to do the 12 x, 10x, 8x and for the 6x I would go until I can't do any more. I was suprised because at the 6x I was able to get 12 on the assisted pull-ups and shoulder press, 10 on the dips, but just 6 on the bench press. I think I'm going to be feeling it tommorrow. I got a workout partner (Steve, who is 50 and weighs 211 at 5'10'), he has lifted weights before consistantly with a plan, just not for a while. Since I haven't ever focused on weight training I think this is going to be helpful because he is holding me accountable in a way. Also, I can see we are going to push each other. Male ego thing, I guess. Our workout time was a few minutes slow of schedule, but hopefully we will get to the 46 and 42 minute schedule with a little experience. I'm glad I talked him into doing this with me even if he won't officially enter.
I've got to go get a tape measure at the fabric store so I can log my begining stats and changes. I've still got too get my Day 1 photos with today's newspaper. I'm planning on posting my stats every 2-4 weeks and maybe the photos every 4 weeks. Hopefully this will give me some more motivation and help me be accountable.
Wishing everyone success with their efforts.
Hey Dan if you want join us in the May 17th starter's thread.
Hi James,
Thanks. I was wondering if you could fill out your start stats and current so we could see your progress. Double clicking on your name, "JamesK" will take you there.

So I am just starting to work on a flower fairy gown, and for this gown I want to make a ton of silk chiffon or organza (or both…) flower petals. My plan is to paint each of the petals at the end a brighter color to add dimension which should help them look more like flower pedals.
I want the paint to bleed and spread so nothing looks identical and look more like flower petals.
My question is what type of paint/dye should I use?
Thank you! Alexis.

I have read that folks can't get their workout in, in the specific time frame suggested by the book. The book is on its way from Amazon but I have started working out (last Thursday and Friday, and last evening- Monday), using the guidelines found here on the website. I have not seen the suugested time range on the website, so what is the "usual" time expectency. Last night I did the upper body workout in 75 minutes, but that seems that that would be to long.
Any suggestions?
Thank You
"Hypochondriacs are their own terrorists." Saul Bellow
I just found the time in "tips", 46 minutes maximum. I guess I need to get rockin'. I thought I was going at a pretty good clip last evening, I was obviously mistaken.
When you first get started, it definitely takes longer as you are getting used to the weights, and if you are like me, spend frigging 5 minutes between sets trying to figure out how the dumbells change weights. But after a while you get into a groove. My upper body usually takes about 45-50 minutes
Thank you Mr. Cynical. I have to admit on Monday I had weight discs scattered all over the room trying to configure the dumbells I needed.. That certainly didn't help. Last night, however, the UPS delivery truck arrived at 8:30 PM. (Poor son of a gun) with a pair of Selecttech dumbells. I will use them today for my leg workout. I "played" with them briefly last night and immediately wondered why it took me so long to get a pair. So, now, I have a complete set of Soloflex dumbells, and the pair of Selecttech dumbells. I think once I get a system worked out, it will go quite well.
I have figured out what I was doing wrong. I received the book on Wednesday. Of course I went straight to the wrokout esction, and behold, I was doing the full set of sets for every exercise. So, instead of doing just one set of 12 on the flyes, I was doing the full range of sets, 12-6 on so forth. That would explain 75 minutes for a workout. Now that I have been properly instructed I believe things will go much smoother now.

First pick a base liquor, than add a liqueur and a fruit juice of choice. The less adventurous can try a variety of true Brazilian cocktails such as the caipirinha--a mix of sugar, rum, and lime. Bartenders also keep things interesting with unique house-infused drink creations such as tequila with watermelon and thyme and cherry vodka with cucumber and sake. The adult fruit smoothies are super popular as well, with new flavors every week. For eats, the Fruit Bat keeps things as authentic as possible, offering a small menu of Latin American street food such as sweet potato fries with house-made mango ketchup and pork tacos.

Helmet Sizing Information.
To achieve proper helmet fitment, begin by finding your head circumference size using the method described below.
Remember that the helmet sizing you choose should fit around the crown of your head comfortably with no pressure points.
The cheekpads should fit firmly around your face. Once your chin strap is fastened, grab the chin bar of the helmet and move it side to side.
Your cheeks should move with the helmet, which should not slide across your face. Different thickness cheekpads can be purchased to obtain the perfect fit.
Head Measurement Instructions.
Wrap flexible tape measure around your head approximately on inch above eyebrows and ears. Use this measurement (in either inches or centimeters) to find your helmet size in the chart below.
Hat Size

6 7/8-7
7 1/8-7 1/4

Comment: Lightweight, cool, comfortable, minimal 'shroom head look, you forget you have it on after awhile. My only complaint would be that the chin strap needs to be angled a little more towards the front. If I'm not wearing my full face helmet then this one will be on my head.
Comment: Love the helmet. It does fit a little bit larger than most other brands. So be sure to measure before you buy.

Comment: I love my Vega Helmet. It's perfect. I own three. One Large for me, a medium one for my wife and a small one for my son. Excellent! 100 percent recommended!

Comment: Vega Helmets Half Motorcycle Helmet VegaXTSNakedMatt in Size M This is a comfortable, inexpensive, solid matte black helmet. No frills.

Comment: I normaly wear a large but the medium was a perfect fit. Looks great and has a low profile. No tugging at hiway speeds. Tried the skid lid(it sucks) and returned it with no problem.
Comment: This helmet is awesome! It's DOT approved, and the smallest half helmet I have found anywhere, and I have really looked. The price here at Jafrum is an excellent value. $20 less than my local shop. The sizes run a bit big, I wear a XL in most helmets and the Medium Vega fits me perfect, so check the size chart before you order. This helmet looks so good in flat black, and doesn't make me look like an idiot mushroom head like the other half helmets do. I am so happy with Jafrum I'll be back for lots more things soon. Thanks Jafrum!!!
Comment: I bought this helmet for my husband and he loves it. It's light weight and not to big. I actually had to return another style and the customer service personnel were the best. They refunded my money very quickly with no questions asked.
Comment: Been looking around for a DOT approved helmet that didnt make my already big head look like a mushroom. After having tried many other helmets this one fit perfectly. Its very comfortable and at a good price.

Comment: Perfect fit for oval head shapes/narrow faces. Sits low, no mushroom. Lightweight and very comfortable. Just spent 3 days and 900 km on a ride in the Golden Triangle (Thailand, Laos, Myanmar) and under the weather conditions here the Wick-Dri interior works very well and much better than the Coolmax liner I have in another helmet.
Comment: Nice fitting helmet. Sits down on your head instead of up on top of it like many other half helmets.
Comment: I love this helmet, low profile and still provides enough coushion. Doesn't catch wind when riding either. The strap does ride a little too far back on my chin but that's manageable!
colorado springs
Comment: Ordered this helmet hoping it would be a good half helmet with minimum shroom head look, and its exactly what I wanted. Its light, and fits great. My measurements were at the maximum for the medium and it fits perfectly. Like other reviewers have stated, this helmet is more suited to a narrow, long head instead of a round one.
Comment: Great helmet, would be perfect with a plastic buckle.
Comment: Very little wind drag which is really only noticed at 75mph++ real comfortable and sits lower than most. I like it alot more than my $150.00 harley helmet.
Comment: Snug fit, low profile, with minimal mushroom up top. Overall a great buy and worth the few extra bucks!!
Ontario, CA
Comment: Good helmet for the price. Mushroom head look, but it is what it is. The helmet is about as light as a novelty helmet, so that's a plus.
Comment: Bought a Vega XTS Naked helmet after reading reviews, not as small as my novelty helmet but alot smaller then most, ordered a size smaller and fits perfect, unfortunately the downside of purchasing this helmet thru Jafrum is that they have spoiled me, I don't think I will ever buy any product they carry from someone else again.
Comment: Pretty good helmet. Not as much of a mushroom head as a lot of other brands (like outlaw) and very comfortable. A little bit of the parasail effect at high speeds but that probly has more to do with the fit. Would recommend getting a quick release though.
Comment: Fits really good. It's light and comfortable. The only down side is the chin strap needs to be angled forward more.
Comment: Minimal mushrrom head, not bad. Really long chin strap (for better or worse). Very comfortable helmet.
Comment: Ordered on Tuesday, arrived on Friday! Bought 1 for wife and 1 for me. Both look and fit great. Should have done this long ago.
Comment: I think Vega makes the best helmets, they fit my head best, well built, soft inside helmet, light weight. You need to put one of though soft collars on the strap ( Vega helmets are oval shaped).

Comment: Very, good helmet, I still say let those who ride decide, old skool law, I love the helmet, feel good, forgot I had it on, buy it.

Comment: SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE HCI GERMAN HELMENT..You do not look like a bobble head..the helmet is light weight and is much more comfy. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE..THANKS
Susie MChaney
Comment: I've tried and returned almost every half helmet in this category until I got this one. Don't bother with Skid Lids, HJC or anything else if you're looking for a lightweight DOT helmet without looking like the Great Gazoo. Be careful on the sizing, however. My XL head fit perfect into a size M. Great matte finish and fast shipping!
Comment: This is an awesome helmet! The naked fits as close to a novelty fit as you're gonna get. The snap on the strap keeps the end from flappig around and the interior provides a comfy yet snug fit. It is true to size and Jafrum gets it to you in a jiffy. I have a very narrow head and Vega does a good job of eliminating the 'mushroom' look. I also have a touring style half helmet with ventilation adjustment and removal visor which I also like. Vega is the helmet for me!!

Comment: I have 2 half helmets, this one and a skid lid shorty and i like this one better. it sits low on my head so hardly any mushroom effect. the size chart is right on and i like the snap button to secure the strap.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Comment: This helmet is OK but the Outlaw Carbon Fiber fits me better, looks better in my opinion and also fits in my saddlebag which is a big plus.

Comment: This is a great fitting helmet. My head measures 22.5" and medium was perfect.

Comment: My Vega Helmet is my first choice of all my helmets. It feels good with comfort, looks, and satisfaction as long ago as bought it. Its been with me on my rides from Florida, the Atlantic coast to the Rockies of Big Sky. Its simply the best.
John R. Monkman
Dewitt, Michigan
Comment: I have tried a lot of 1/2 helmets which claim to not give you that "mushroom" head look. So far, mushroom head after mushroom head . until this one! Definitely sits lower on the head, and for the first time I actually look bad-a** with a 1/2 helmet on.
My measurements are 57-58cm, and went w/ the medium as indicated. A little tight at first, on the sides, but feels better every time I put it on.

Milwaukee, WI
Comment: I am ordering my 2nd Vega XTS. I crashed my bike going 60mph with my 1st one on and had no serious injuries after having head slammed into pavement. I liked the way it sits low on my head and doesn't look nearly as big as most D.O.T. helmets
Comment: This is a great helmet. I had been on the hunt for a helmet that did not look silly on my head and this one fits the bill. It's sizes are true to the chart, and at that price what else could you ask for.
Kyle Walters
Tampa, FL
Comment: I've tried so many helmets that say "no mushroom head", yeah right . . . but FINALLY, this helmet does NOT give me a "mushroom head", like the others. Feels great, looks great.
Dat Nguyen
Oak Creek, WI
Comment: The Vega naked xts looks good but will not fit my head. This helmet would be great if your head is narrow from ear to ear and long front to back. It pinches my head right above the ears and has a gap of about 3/4 inch in front and back. This was after I used the fit chart that was shown. Jafrum however is top notch. Have bought several things from them without any trouble. Recommend them highly.
Manuel Turnbo
Comment: Did my research on DOT approved helmets for summer riding and this came up as a top choice. Very happy with the fit. Stays put at highway speeds. Chin strap is too long, but just a minor drawback. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good summer helmet.
Fairfax, VA
Comment: Fits and looks good. Lowest profile for a DOT certified helmet.
Comment: Service from your company was great as it always is and the helmet is very good . read the sizing chart . you can't go wrong .
K. Inman
North Carolina
Comment: Great Helmet fit just as the size chart said. It was the helmet In was looking for. Delivery was quick and on time. Great low profile fit as stated. I would recommend Jafrum and this helmet without hesitation.
Brad Christ
Georgetown Texas
Comment: I'm taking the time to write this for I looked for quite along time. When I first bought my bike I got a helmet, required in NC! After riding a while I took a liking to the novelty look. I tried every half helmet out there. All made my head look huge. Found a Daytona Novelty (non-DOT) and got that out of my system! Felt like wearing a Tupperware Bowl on my head! FINALLY found this helmet. Fits and looks great. Received it in just 2 days from Jafrum! Like I posted in the title; NO NEED TO LOOK ANY FURTHER if you can relate to my story!

What does everyone think it will be like?
I read an interview with Rivers about album 10 and I feel like there is another Raditude-style album coming up.
He said, "we just started working on our 10th record. I was talking to the producer and he was saying 'These songs sound totally different from Hurley. Hurley was kind of dark, and the new songs sound like you're 16, riding your bicycle to get a Slurpee',"
Maybe I'm wrong but that makes it sound like a really "Pop" album and I liked Raditude but i didnt like it enough for Weezer to make another one.
Your thoughts...
Views: 97
It will be completely different than Raditude. You mean, album 9?
I think it's more likely to sound like an album of Ruling Me's or Smart Girls than another Raditude. Or it could be completely different, you never know with Weezer.
I think you're interpreting it wrong.
It doesn't mean it's poppy at all, it just means the songs are more 'uplifting'. More of a Blue-vibe than a Pinkerton-vibe.

Manhole frames, inlet grates recessed for a reason
Issue: A reader noticed that the storm sewer inlet grates and manhole frames on Bluemound and Brookfield roads seem to be recessed below the road and wants to know why this is.
Status: Jeff Chase, city engineer, explained that in general the city attempts to lay storm sewer inlet grates and manhole frames flush with the road surface. But, he explained, it is critical that they are not placed above the surface of the road because otherwise snowplows will crush them.
Because it is so important that the grates and frames do not get hit by snowplows, they are sometimes recessed between an eighth of an inch and a quarter of an inch. This still provides a smooth ride for cars but also means they do not obstruct snow plows, Chase said.
The reader also may have been noticing the recessed storm sewer inlet grates in the curbs, Chase added. These are recessed in order to help the grates take in water. Those recessions are created by gradually slanting the curb downward over a distance of 12 to 18 inches.

Stefphon Jefferson tied an NCAA record by scoring seven touchdowns to lead Nevada in a 69-24 win over Hawaii on Saturday. The win snapped a seven-game losing streak in Honolulu for the Wolf Pack (3-1, 1-0 Mountain West) that dated back to 1948.
It was the first time since 2007 that the home team had won in the series between the two former Western Athletic Conference teams. Both schools left the WAC for the Mountain West Conference in July.
"It was terrific," Nevada coach Chris Ault said. "We've lost the last four times we've been here, and I'm the one who has been outspoken about it. ... We were fortunate tonight. I thought we played well on both sides of the ball."
Jefferson, a junior running back, carried 31 times for 170 yards and scored on 3-, 2-, 1-, 5-, 3- and 1-yard runs and added a 55-yard scoring reception.
It was the fourth time a player had seven touchdowns in a game, the first since Oklahoma State's Rashaan Woods did it in 2003. The mark is also a new Mountain West Conference record.
"I really didn't realize that at all," Ault said of Jefferson tying the NCAA record. "What can you say? He played terrific. He caught a couple screens, did a great job with it. Our offensive front did a terrific job up front for him, and Stefphon did a great job finding the holes."
Nevada racked up 575 yards of offense and had 30 first downs. It was 8 of 12 on third downs and 7 of 7 in the red zone.
After a three-and-out on their first drive, the Wolf Pack scored on their next five possessions to build a 34-17 halftime lead. Jefferson, who had 90 yards on 19 rushes at intermission, added a rushing touchdown in both the third and fourth quarters.
Hawaii's defense came in allowing just 62.5 rushing yards per game, but gave up 355 to Nevada. The Wolf Pack averaged 6.3 yards per rush on 56 attempts. It was their 13th straight game with at least one 100-yard rusher.
Sean Schroeder's 36-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Ostrowski pulled Hawaii within 20-17 midway through the second quarter, but Nevada scored 42 unanswered points until a Warriors touchdown in the game's closing minutes.
Cody Fajardo completed 14 of 20 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. He had 69 yards rushing and was not sacked.
Fajardo's other TD pass was an 8-yarder to Zach Sudfeld in the third quarter.
Khalid Wooten had a 78-yard interception return for a score early in the fourth quarter, and Nick Hale closed out the scoring with a 52-yard run.
Brock Hekking recorded two of the Wolf Pack's four sacks and forced a fumble.
Schroeder was 22 of 40 for 234 yards with two interceptions. Will Gregory ran for 92 yards and a touchdown for the Warriors (1-2, 0-1).
It was the most points ever allowed by Hawaii at Aloha Stadium and the most in a home game since 1950, when it allowed 74 against Stanford.
"It's just one game. It's a disappointing one," Hawaii coach Norm Chow said. "Obviously, we didn't play as well as we could. Give (Nevada) an awful lot of credit."
Nevada took a 9-8 lead in the all-time series. The 45-point margin of victory is the second-largest in series history. The Wolf Pack beat Hawaii 73-12 in 1948.
*RENO — Nevada's Stefphon Jefferson now leads the nation in both rushing and scoring, averaging 174.8 yards and three touchdowns per game.
The junior running back from Visalia, Calif., tied an NCAA record with seven touchdowns in Nevada's 69-24 victory at Hawaii on Saturday to bring his season total to 12 through the first four games. He also broke the Mountain West Conference touchdown record in Nevada's first game in the league.
Jefferson is averaging 5.7 yards per carry (122 for 699). He finished Saturday with 170 yards rushing on 31 carries. He caught three passes for 76 yards, including a 55-yard score from Cody Fajardo.
Jefferson was named the Walter Camp national offensive player of the week and national running back for the second straight week by College Football Performance Awards.

Poch wary of Everton threat
7:00am Saturday 28th December 2013 in Sport
Everton's first home league defeat of 2013 might be viewed by many as a positive for Saints – but Mauricio Pochettino insists he is disappointed by it.
The Merseyside club were beaten 1-0 by Sunderland on Boxing Day, ending a run of nearly 12 months without a loss at Goodison Park.
Everton's previous Premier League home defeat had been at the end of December 2012, against Chelsea.
While the Toffees losing the winning feeling at Goodison Park can be seen as a good thing for Saints, ahead of their trip there tomorrow, Pochettino would have preferred things to be different, as he wanted his team to be the ones who upset them.
"It's the first time that Everton lost (at home) in 2013," he said.
"We wanted to be the ones that broke that record and beat them at Everton, but Sunderland beat us to it."
Tomorrow's encounter will be a clash that arguably features two of the division's most improved clubs.
Saints have made many observers sit up and take notice with their performances this season and, although a six-game winless streak knocked them down the table to ninth, the 3-0 Boxing Day victory at Cardiff got them back on track in style.
Everton have enjoyed an even better campaign so far, challenging towards the very top of the division.
They currently occupy fifth position, and are five points behind first-placed Arsenal.
"It's clear we are going to be facing a tough side, a tough opponent, a great manager in Roberto Martinez," said Pochettino.
"It's going to be a very tough game.
"Even under David Moyes they were a tough side that was always fighting for the first seven or eight positions and now they have a great manager in Roberto Martinez."
Everton might have sold one of their star players, Marouane Fellaini, in the final hours of the summer transfer window, but Martinez's acquisitions that same day – Romelu Lukaku, Gareth Barry and James McCarthy – have helped propel them forward.
"They have made amazing signings as well, so I'm fully aware we're going to be facing a really tough side," said Pochettino.
The Saints boss, pictured left, already knows Martinez by virtue of the pair's Spanish connections, and he has been impressed at how well the former Wigan boss has done at his new club.
"Of course I know him from a long time ago," he said. "He's been a long time in England and he fully deserves everything that he's getting, because he's fully earned it."

This week: "Poch wary of Everton Threat"
Either the Daily Echo is cutting and pasting its headlines or Pochettino needs help relaxing a bit. Being so wary of everything can't be good for his health.

Kenda El Moco 26" Folding Tire
Brian Lopes wanted Kenda to make a tire that would roll fast and grip well for his style of riding: hard, fast and winning. The "El Moco" features unique round and rectangular shaped interlocked knobs for sure footed cornering and lightning quick acceleration. The center tread is open just enough for fast tread cleaning, but not so widely spaced to slow the tire down. On the side, taller knobs allow for more predictable cornering control at radical lean angles.

I order those tire for my old Mavic Crossland . These tires are sweet. Track very well and not too bad on weight. Don't let the price fool you . I might order another set for spare. Thanks
These are nice tires, the side nobs work fine on loose, firm, wet or slippery terrain, and they roll easily, and not too heavy! Would recommend and would buy again!
Great in Corning and speed. Climbing is also good. I will buy again.
Love them. They grip awesome in the corners and are great for climbing too. I got the sticky ones. And they're still holding up. I will purchase again.
This tire set up well as a tubeless, but I found the rolling resistance to be a bit too high to use as a rear tire. Works better on the front
i was surprised at how well this tire climbed and cornered. Also it has great rolling speed. But the 2.35 dtc version is far too fragile for how hard you could ride this tire . The casing is very thin and the corner knobs tear off easily . Got lots of flats
Best rolling resistance/grip ratio I have found on an all around tire. My tire of choice for the past 2 seasons. Wether the soil is wet/mud or dusty/dry conditions. They just grip grip grip. It's basically a faster rolling nevegal. I prefer the 2.3 sticky-e since I like riding down as much as up the hill. Fun tire not heavy and very grippy. Again Great cornering and great grip on climbs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The garage light at the home of Julie and Matthew Riccardi is blue, and for a good reason.
"They are to symbolize autism awareness," said Julie.
The Riccardi's son, 10-year-old Deacon, was born with autism.
To call attention to autism awareness month, they put in the blue light -- just as many other groups and private companies do every April.
But not long after, the Riccardis found an unsigned letter at their house, with no return address. The writer did not like the blue light.
The letter read in part, "Seriously? Purple, blue lights on the garage? Mom always said there is one bad apple in the bunch."
The anonymous writer went on to warn that the development's Home Owner's Association would not approve.
After he saw the letter, Matthew said, "I went into dad mode. I went into, you know, 'I'm ready to kick some butt,' mode."
Of their son, Julie said, "He didn't ask to be brought into the world with autism and he is very special and deserves to be recognized."
